Duties

Research in the Reactor Physics Methods section addresses a number of gaps
in the areas of reactor physics codes development, nuclear data, and
sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification tools. Direct outputs
from the associated programs at CRL benefit Canada and the nuclear industry
internationally. The position involves research on topics including:

Development of novel mathematical and computational methods for application to the next
generation of reactor physics codes;

Code coupling techniques (e.g. physics and thermalhydraulics);

Nuclear data;

Uncertainty quantification methods.

The reactor physicist will provide technical support to ongoing efforts in
these and other areas, and work will involve:
